Guest Scorge Spike Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Yeah. Think Def Leppard, but with better solos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1470 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Dokken like Def Leppard but with better solo's ?? I don't think so, Dokken aren't a patch on leppard, especially Pyromania/Hysteria era with Steve Clark soloing !! Dokken are a run of the mill rock band, some good stuff, some not so good, CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pointing out that Dokken's soloing stood out over their material, which has little depth. Might dig out Hysteria on the back of this thread....

smitty Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 no way. in my opinion Dokken are way better than Def Leppard.they aren't as polished as def lep. (even though they still dont sound rough). sometimes I feel that Def Lep can sound really too sugarcoated.and george lynch is amazing, but doesn't particularly stand out in any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1470 Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Def Leppard are polished, but have writtten some of the best commercial rock music out there, saw them 4 times last year, the highlight being the Barrowlands show, spoiled only by The Darkness in support, Ricky Warwick was the other support and he rocked !! They are a stunning live band with some great tunes, I wouldn't say something like Rock of Ages is sugar coated, i admit there is some commercial stuiff, but at least they stopped before they became like the othger huige 80's rock band Bon Jovi !!!CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryn Posted March 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Oh no, if they are anything like def leppard im steering well clear. I hate DL, cheesy shite!!I had a strange feeling Dokken might be like Extreme, duno why. Extreme kick ass, Nuno Bettencourt rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1470 Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Ah Extreme, the great Queen wannabee's Actually I really like them especially the 3rd album which was when they were at their creative peak, 3 sides is a classic, even if the Queen influenceis huge, but then that's not a bad thing, amazes me people will day the Darkness sound like Queen, which is sacrielege, at leat Extreme were a good band, and Nuno one of the most underated guitarists ever, saw him doing flight of the bumblebee on TV att he Seville guitar legends, not many people can hold their own in gig with Brian May, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Tony Iommi, and Joe Walsh, but he did and was superb !!CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester1470 Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 he does play better with one arm than most drummers do with 2 !! Initially he used a lot of pedals and electronic kit, now I believe he just uses a slightly modified kit, brilliant drummer, he was under 18 when Def Leooard recorded their first album and started playing with them aged 15 !!

Ally Boss Koala Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 dude, dokken suck balls. they look like the cheap hookers you can pick up in leith.lynch is a really good guitarist though. But he looked like a woman when he was in dokken. a cheap hooker, to be specific Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
